You don't have to load the DX presets. The FS1R includes, in its 1400 preset voices bank, the most famous TX and DX sounds.

I got mine when it was released. I always used it from a "preset tweaking perspective", and it's fun! Just by adjusting the effects, changing the voices of a performance, slowing down/reversing the formant sequence, or using the filter you can create a wide range of sounds. By the way, the FS1R has the same filter as the AN1X. It gives a much warmer and punchier sound than the old DX7.

If anyone wants mine, I'm open to any offer. It's in perfect condition.

No one stood a chance to be honest Im a maniac when it comes to ebay.....I always hit the 'I want it at all costs' button!

I paid for it today, so hopefully I receive it next week sometime. Ive listened to a couple of demo mp3's. I think ill be very happy with the FS1R. I wanted a FM/DX preset machine that has a bit of tweakability. I love ambient FM pads, FM bass and leads.

The manual is on absolute " dry " mode as if they were pissed to even describe controls Bank A and B ( 128 presets each ) explore the FS1R features ( more or less ) , the other banks are ports from the other synths ( using 6 ops ) and monotimbral so you have to figure ( browse output levels ) the operators that are off depending of algos.
Personnally I kind of fell asleep while browsing a lot of samey presets ...
Even with the great and free editor there are so much layers and ( unnecessary / not very potent ? ) controls that you spend a massive lot of time to move the sound, because you have to browse a lot to figure the key parameters on a given preset.
I've never owned a DX7 but *only* based on the sound files I downloaded, DX7 sounds more warm so not sure you can find exact matches if you crave for them.

If it's that great, why are you selling it? Are you replacing with it FM8?
